I enjoyed doing those articles at the time, but I&#8217;ve moved on. I have thought about putting them on another site so I can see if people are interested in other articles I do, rather than just those ones. I&#8217;m still mulling that over.

So that was a bit of a pain, it seems to have dropped off now, which is good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve broken out into general productivity tools for usual windows work and did a whole video series on apps\/free programmes I found online that help you do things more productively. There are some good tools out there, but some are too onerous and too specific to use on a daily basis, still worth mentioning. I don&#8217;t think I packaged the videos very well, so not a massive response to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revit content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still doing a bot of this mut not rushing to do a massive amount. When something useful comes along I do it, otherwise I use Revit when I have a little project going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GlideApps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did quite a lot with GlideApps. This makes a mobile app that is built from a Google spreadsheet. I did quite a variety of apps and I still use my finance\/journal app daily.  Translator apps, museum\/gallery apps\/ conference apps\/ defects app\/ timesheet app\/ reservation app\/ calling api for data app\/ an app of apps\/ real estate app. A bit slow as you are calling a web page but pretty good as you do not have to do too much coding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3dpdf &amp; panoramas <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did a presentation on 3D pdf&#8217;s wrong audience (programmers) but still good to play with some of the features, especially JS scripts in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IoT explore &amp; home kits <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went ot a MicroSoft openday on this and got an IoT device then platyed with a few things, then looked at using old mobile as remote security cam, also old laptop tablet as WebCam. Also timelpse with Raspberry pi. I have some kits and may do more later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Covid visualisation dashboard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has plunged me down a rabbit hole looking at ways of getting data from websites and API&#8217;s and files (CSV) and consuming them. Also analysing data with Google Sheets, Excel (offline when Internet slow) and scripting using JaveScript and template literals. Also making maps, tables, charts on web pages, some with 3rd party links and CDN&#8217;s.  Good for future dashboards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stats<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally the US is main viewer, although China has been big with its bots this year. Spikes in users are due to bots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" data-src=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-1024x763.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6164 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-1536x1145.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-50x37.jpg 50w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-67x50.jpg 67w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-134x100.jpg 134w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-859x640.jpg 859w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-640x477.jpg 640w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-1030x768.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics-1449x1080.jpg 1449w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_23_36-Analytics.jpg 1540w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/763;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"599\" data-src=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6165 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics.jpg 771w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-50x39.jpg 50w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-64x50.jpg 64w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-100x78.jpg 100w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-129x100.jpg 129w, https:\/\/max-drake.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020-04-25-11_24_07-Analytics-640x497.jpg 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 771px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 771\/599;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Above my current month users, used to be about 400 per month, now down on that, especially time, that used to be at around 2 1\/2 -3 min, so people were reading the articles, or some people trying to work through them.

I&#8217;ve been distracted by domestic endeavors that I&#8217;ve kept separate, but I&#8217;ve also branched out into doing a lot more videos, in the &#8220;How To..&#8221; ilk.

Not flattering on the ego really as its not being referenced or read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still feel its worth the effort and will continue to pay Contabo to host the site.
